This grilled chicken breast recipe is served with an Indian inspired fresh blueberry, ginger, raison, cinnamon, and clove chutney with a dash of vinegar and red pepper flakes.
What's a chutney? It's an Indian based mild to moderate spiced condiment that has fruit, spices, and vinegar. Sometimes there's sugar or herbs and they can be smooth or chunky or creamy or dairy free.
This blueberry chutney recipe is excellent with chicken, pork, or tempeh and also yummy on granola with a little cream, yogurt, or milk.
If you don't have a grill and want to bake the chicken, preheat oven to 375F and place chicken in a lightly oiled pan or baking sheet and cook covered ~ 25 minutes or until internal done.
It's blueberry season here in Charleston, SC and our good friends just picked and delivered to us these sweet blueberries from Champney's Blueberry Farm in Ravenel, SC.

Things In My Kitchen:
- Weber Q1200 - this is my grill, y'all. It's pretty & cool, simple, has even & consistent heat, and easy to clean. You can even take the grates off, wipe off quickly, and stick in the dishwasher. It fits 6 strip steaks perfectly and is portable (you have to buy this separate and also an adapter hose) so you can easily take it with you camping.

Wonderful tasty sauce, I used it on pork tenderloin baked in the oven and will definitely do it again.
